I also use MSVC 2005 and I've never had to recompile SDL, or add 
src/main/etc. to any of my projects to avoid this error/warning. I 
occasionally get such an error if I try to include certain other libraries 
(e.g. boost, or zziplib come to mind). Check on which other .lib's you are 
linking with.
(and check that you are compiling as "Multi-Threaded debug dll" in C/C++ 
compiler options.)
